AT LAST.
A Decision In the Case of Hereford
Association VS.. C. & Ii.

The right of way damage suit of the
Wyoming Hereford Association VS.. the
Cheyenne & Burlington railroad, was de-
cided by the board of arbitration last
evening. The arbitrator, who We're ap-
pointed by the board of county commits
%sioners. were j. K. jeffrey, G. P. Organ
and Colin Hunter. They heard an i'm
mense amount of evidence from both
sides, which was carefully considered with
a view of determining the exact damage
inflicted upon the cattle company by the
construction of the road across their
land. The Hereford Association will re-
ceive $l5, 100 instead of the $50, 900
which they originally insisted would be
about the proper figure. The financial
statement returned by the arbitrator is
as follows:
Compensation for land actually
taken by right of way. ..........$ $3.50
For damages to fences and rear
ranging fences. LOCO
Compensation for other lands, real
estate and claims accruing in
consequence of condemnation of
right OF ...... ll,S2O
lOUal.. iUU
The Hereford association claimed dur
ing the progress of the trial that their
meadow land was worth 5000 an acre.
but it was valued at a much less figure by
the appraisers. A representative of the
